Overview
The Beretta USA 686 is an over/under shotgun chambered in 20 Gauge, offering a standard capacity of 2 rounds. This configuration reflects the traditional break-action design common to over/under shotguns, where two shells are loaded directly into the barrels rather than fed from a magazine. The 686 features a 26 inch barrel length, a common choice for shotguns used in clay target sports and field applications, balancing handling characteristics with shot coverage. As part of Beretta's shotgun lineup, the 686 is built around the 20 Gauge chambering, which is generally associated with lighter recoil and reduced overall firearm weight compared to larger gauge options.
